The kamado parents were warned that at some point in their sons life, Tanjiro, would have Somniphobia. But worse than most. When he would sleep he would have terrible nightmares resulting in him waking up screaming or with a panic attack.
Tanjiro is...
Tanjuro is now pacing around outside the hospital room his wife is in. She's currently giving birth to their eldest son. Pacing back on forth. Left arm under his right elbow. Thumb's nails slowly being bitten at. This continued on until he heard someone open the door.
"You may now see your wife." The doctor said with a smile. Tanjuro burst into the room and saw his wife, Kie, holding their new-born son in her arms. She gave a smile at him, making him burst into tears. He ran over and hugged the three gently earning a small chuckle of his wife.
"What should we name him?" Tanjuro asked while looking at the newborn who was holding his finger tightly. Kie waited a second. deep in though.
"Why not Tanjiro" She said while looking at Tanjiro's burgundy colour eyes. Tanjuro just laughed a little and then smiled.
"It's perfect" he said whispering into her ear and then kissing her on the forehead. Another doctor then walked into the room, catching the attention of the two parents. He had a clipboard. He was also wearing a frown, making them both all the more nervous.
"I seems as though eventually in your sons life, he will have Somniphobia."
They stared at him in bother shock and confusion.
"W-what?"
"Somniphobia. A fear of sleep. It is most likely to occur in his teenage years. Roughly about at the age of 13 - 16. Though, he will have a more..... extreme version. By the time he gets this fear he will most likely avoid sleeping. When he does sleep he will most likely wake up screaming or worse, a panic attack." He said.
Tears couldn't help but flow like rivers down both Tanjuro's and Kie's cheeks. Tanjuro tightened the hug around Kie and Tanjuro slightly. A mother was more.... 'Attached' to their child so it makes sense that she was devistated.
"Is there a way to help him?.."
The doctor shook his head left to right.
"I-I See..." Tanjuro said with a small frown. He the looked at Kie and put his hand on her chin making her look at him. He smile.
"But we'll care for him the best we can, isn't that right dear?" He said with a sad smile. Kie nodded with a small smile. The doctor couldnt help but also smile. He then left the room leaving the two to hug alone in peace.

Tanjiro's POV
I sat up quickly, drench in cold sweat. I was gripping onto the blankets tightly. I've recently being getting horrid nightmares. One never would even think of happening. My right hand clenched onto my hair with my eyes closed, trying to forget. I haven't told anyone yet but i should probably tell them soon. Despite my thoughts about the dream or to be better worded, nightmare.
I stood up and got changed into my usual clothes.
